shane howard... you legend...
Just finished watching Australian Story on ABC-TV.
They featured Shane Howard. You know... Goanna... Solid Rock...
Yeah...
That song never fails to either make me cry or make me so angry I want to smash something.
Speaking about how he came to write the lyrics of Solid Rock, Shane spoke of a time he was out near Uluru, and he said "In a big landscape you can think big thoughts"
And that made me think of something Link said. I have hunted high and low but I can't find where she said it. You there, Link?

the famous Australian apathy or our laid back, Zen like, laconic style.
As the first Patriarch (you'd have to love that term, Link) of Dai Ippo Zen, I can authoritatively inform you that there is nothing "Zen like" about your average Ausiie bogan (or for that matter, about your average Aussie chardonnay-swilling, pseudo-laconic, angst-ridden (in denial), middle class, "aspirational" Labor-voting, capitalism-loving, planet-fucking, modernist wanker!!!!!!)
Australians seem generally less hyeterical or excitable when compared to many of our worldy neighbours
Yeah, Link, and a koala zonked out on eucalyptus oil is enlightened... Right...
My ideal lifestyle would be to spend 6 months of the year in the northern hemishpere, 3 months in Old Blighty and 3 in some country where I could hear the call to prayer, (but not be shot at or kidnapped.) and 6 months down here.
Yeah, the whole world can live like that... VERY sustainable...
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
George Orwell... Animal Farm...
Of course, I will soon be accused of being guilty of the neo-crime called "being an anti-aspirational"...
Yuze can all get fucked...
